Two Panthers Named All-Region

June 12, 2014

For the first time in the short history of the program, Tompkins Cortland Community College has placed multiple players on the NJCAA Region III all-region lacrosse team. Sophomore defender Brandon Wood (Homer H.S./Homer) and freshman goalie Eh Tha Dah (Ithaca H.S./Ithaca) were recognized for being among the best in the region. Both players were named to the second team. A total of 13 players were selected for both first and second teams. Onondaga Community College, the region and national champions, accounted for seven of the first team selections. Genesee Community College also had seven selections total (two first team and five second team), and SUNY Delhi was next with five, including four on the first team. Monroe Community College had three all-region players, and TC3 was the lone college with two. Two other colleges had single representatives on the second team. Voting was done by the coaches from the 13 Region III teams.

Wood, who was also honored with a Mid-State Athletic Conference all-conference selection, started all 15 games as a defender. He was the team’s most consistent defender, and also scored four goals and an assist.

Dah was recognized for being one of the top goalies in the region. He recorded 225 saves on the season, the second most in the nation. He was especially strong when needed the most, including a spectacular 26-save performance in the regular season finale against Herkimer College. That win secured a playoff spot for the Panthers.

This marks the first time TC3 has had multiple all-region selections since lacrosse was reinstated as a varsity sport in 2008. Prior to this year, TC3 had a total of two all-region selections: Brett Gifford in both 2011 and 2012.

Highlights–2014 Men's Lacrosse

Cold Start for the Panthers

Wednesday, March 05, 2014

It was a cold start of the season for the Tompkins Cortland Community College lacrosse team Wednesday as the Panthers lost at home to nationally-ranked Monroe Community College 17-3. The season opener for both teams was played in temperatures that started in the teens and ended in single digits.

The visiting Tribunes, ranked ninth in the NJCAA lacrosse poll, wasted little time in taking control. Monroe scored in the first minute of the game en route to a 5-0 lead after the first quarter and an 8-0 advantage at halftime. The Panthers got on the board in the third quarter when Max Bosworth (Keene H.S./Keene, N.H.) scored off an assist from Luke Stevenson (Ithaca H.S./Ithaca) to make it 8-1. After Monroe put two more on the board, Austin Recor (Homer H.S./Homer) scored his first goal of the season to make it 10-2. Monroe added another score in the closing seconds of the third to make it 11-2 heading into the final quarter. TC3’s final goal came after Monroe had scored six times in the fourth, making the final 17-3. Nick Velazquez (Middletown H.S./Middletown) started the scoring play with a shot on goal that was initially saved, but found its way into the net on the rebound.
